2013 book 116

Jennifer Castle's You Look Different in Real Life
Oh dudes, I really loved this book. It's about a teenage girl who's been part of a Seven-Up series of documentaries, looking at her and four other kids at the ages of six and eleven--and now they're back to shoot them all at sixteen. But she was the breakout kid of the first two, and feels like now she's a disappointment, plus there has been some drama between some of the kids in the past five years, leading to some unpleasant interpersonal dynamics. It would be easy to say that what happens is predictable, but that's just because it fits together really well. I personally could have done without the romance angle, but what the heck, it's a supercute YA book and that is a silly thing to complain about. A.
